Total Taxes be damned. Mr McGuinty ran on a platform that he and his Liberals would NOT raise taxes. I saw all those ads where he stood in front of the people of Ontario, looked us in the eye and lied. "We will not lower taxes nor will we raise them either". Now he plans to repeal the law the Conservatives put in place punishing any government that raises taxes above and beyond what the public can afford. HYPOCRITES AND LIARS.
Ontarians. If ever there was a reason not to vote Liberal in the next Federal election this is it. Vote for Paul Martin and your telling the Feds that they can get away with outright lies and we'll kiss their ass and call it ice cream.
So fuckin angry I could scream right now.
"I, Dalton McGuinty, leader of the Liberal Party of Ontario, promise, if my party is elected as the next government, that I will not raise taxes or implement new taxes without the explicit consent of Ontario voters, and not run deficits. I promise to abide by the Taxpayer Protection and Balanced Budget Act."

"We're not going to raise your taxes, but neither will we cut them."
- McGuinty after signing the pledge.

"We're not going to raise taxes. That's just not on the table."

"I don't want to raise taxes. It is not my intention to raise taxes."
